“Mysterious” event raises funds for DeKalb libraries

“A Mysterious Evening” fundraiser, featuring local mystery authors, recently raised $20,000 for DeKalb County’s public libraries.

The proceeds will go toward helping the 22 branches in the county system buy books and materials. Due to budget cuts, the libraries receive just $100,000 of taxpayer funds annually for those expenses.
